World War Two Rationing in Britain During the Second World War, (1939-45)
World War Two Rationing in Britain During the Second World War, (1939-45), there were a lot of shortages of essential foodstuffs, not just luxuries. Supplies started to become short and some items impossible to obtain, especially imported goods such as tea, bananas, oranges, and grapes. It was to be six or seven years before any of those fruits were seen again. Then butter, lard, sweets, cakes, flour and sugar became hard to get too, followed by meat and fish.

In this snapshot from circa 1943, we witness a group of resilient women patiently queuing for horse meat at a butcher shop.

It symbolizes how communities came together to endure these trying times, forming long queues that stretched around corners as people eagerly awaited their turn to obtain meager supplies.
